Location & Directions

Tunis, Tunisia

The Residence Tunis is situated on the seafront in Gammarth, close to the ancient city of Carthage and the famous artist’s colony Sidi Bou Said. Just 20 minutes from the center of Tunis.

When to go

Tunisia has a temperate climate in the north with mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. May to October is the best time to visit, although the summer months are Tunisia’s high season, so expect prices to go up and crowds of northern Europeans on package vacations to take over the beaches. The desert is much too hot in summer, and the best time to visit Tunisia if you want to see the Saharan dunes is in late autumn. November is when date harvests have just finished and some of the music festivals begin, so this time is perfect for visiting the desert.
